I’m a mom of two, military spouse, speaker, and creator of the MOMentarily Gone movement. Through my brand, Great Life is a Must, I share experiences, encouragement, and opportunities that help women and moms pursue purpose while prioritizing their well-being.

More to the Story…

I am the former “shrink-back queen” who used to hide behind her shyness, until one day I decided that I deserve to take up space and come ALIVE! I realized nobody wins when I hide my God-given gifts and talents.

Now, I am a multi-hyphenate as a speaker, events curator, and Global Venue Finder. Through blogging, hosting local meetup groups, and creating events, I’ve had the opportunity to connect with women from all walks of life. No matter the platform, my mission remains the same: helping women create lives that feel fulfilling and meaningful.

“Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.”.”

Howard Thurman
